The First Canadian Edition of Basic College Mathematics, by Richard N. Aufmann, Joanne S. Lockwood, and Rebecca Milburn, engages students through real-world, Canadian examples and problems, while maintaining and building on the pedagogical strengths of the Aufmann series. In addition to Canadian and international word problems and examples, this edition makes math skills more relevant to Canadian students through a chapter on the metric system and supports the unique blend of the metric system and Imperial System used in Canada. The WebAssign component for this text engages students with immediate feedback, rich tutorial content, and question links to a complete eBook.

Features:

Read It links under each question quickly jump to the corresponding section of a complete, interactive eBook that lets students highlight and take notes as they read.

Watch It links provide step-by-step instruction with short, engaging videos that are ideal for visual learners.

Question Types:

Video Examples (VE) ask students to watch a section level video segment and then answer a question related to that video. Consider assigning the video example as review prior to class or as a lesson review prior to a quiz or test.

Master It Tutorials (MI) show students how to solve a similar problem in multiple steps by providing direction along with derivation so the student understands the concepts and reasoning behind the problem solving.

Step-by-step problems (SBS) walk the student through the problem by listing out each step of the question and letting the student enter in derivations at select points.

Expanded Problem (EP) questions are expanded versions of existing questions that include intermediary steps to guide the student to the final answer.
